Making equity and social justice common sense.
Narrative Initiative catalyzes durable narrative change in order to make equity and social justice common sense.
We make connections between people and organizations, amplify the best tools and methodologies from an emerging field, and activate new collaborations that lead to greater alignment.
How we do our work:
